Hello, Having some serious problems! I was surfing the web when something happened to my computer. Bascially, I was suffering from a Trojan and "Virtual Maid". My wallpaper turned into a blue screen with an error message telling me that I has a Trojan on my computer and to scan with any antivirus/ spyware software.Well, I found out that this error message was a backdrop bitmap file linked to a program, so I deleted it and the app.associated with it. I ran Anti-virus, spyware, spybot, and CW shredder. Everything says my system is now clean, but I can't change the backdrop on my PC (the desktop tab isn't even there). Is something still wrong with my computer? Help!
